suffering for the past year with spinal

nounced incmable. II has been ques-

causing an uproar among the hundreds
of Gagged beasts. Finally it was decided

SENATOR a. q. SMITH.
or Indiana. who Presides Over the
state senate.

An exciting dispute is waging IN the
Hoosier State over the Senate of which
presides A. G. Smith, thus preventing
the newlv-elccted Lieutenant-Governo
Mr.. Robertson, from assuming the
duties of his Office. Mr.. Smith was
elected 10 the Senate after the memo
rable campaign Of 1884. During
the ensuing session Lieutenant
Governor Manson resigned, and
Mr.. Smith was elected to the chair
of the Senate. On this he bases his
present claims TO the position of Lieu
tenant-Governor of the State, holding
that there was no vacancy in that office
as contemplated by the Constitution,
and that the recent election of Robert
son was void and illegal.
Senator A. 6. Smith is native OF
Meigs county, Ohio. He was farmers
boy, and is prominently a seli-made
man. His ancestors were of the best
families Of Virginia. Mr.. Smith began
the study Of the law when only eighteen
wears of age. and shortly afterwards re-
moved TO the State of Indiana. He made
his residence ut North Vernon. When he
had inst attained his majority, i'll the
wear 1859. he was admitted TO the bar.

GLOUCESTER COURTHOUSE, VA,
January 10Th, 1897.
The winter thus far has been one of
the severest ever known i'll this section.
The County Court-day for December
will ever be remarkable in the history
Of the county as the first court-day for
forty years when people from the diff
ferent extremes of the county did not
meet at the Courthouse. There were
probably a dozen people out and they

The month of January, thus far, has
been exceedingly wintry Large crops
Of ice have been harvested.
Public sentiment throughout this see
ton of the State is fast crystallizing III
favor of the reputation of all TIE
bonds of the State which shall not have
been funded into Riddlebergers within
a given date, to he fixed by law; and
this sentiment is not from the old Re
adjusters. but from men who faithfully
and earnestly worked to uphold the
McCulloch compromise. Judge Bond
and Mr.. Royal have raised the storm;
if they think they can ride the whirl-
wind Of the peoples wrath, they will
find themselves wofully mistaken.
The seyefe illness Of the clerk pre-
vented the holding of the fall term of
the Circuit Court. Hence, Mary

Thinking You wouldhke to have your

Of his church is not Rev. John b. Var
rington. He is deacon in the church,
and not IA minister. Rev. John W.
Ryland is the pastor, and was not pres

there and was requested by the friends
to say something. He spoke a few
words, saying that it was the saddest
moment of his life, that man who
had lived among them and been acting
in their Sunday school should have
come TO such an end, which he (Mr
Yarrington) had done all he could to
avert. He then offered short prayer,
and the body was lowered into the grave
after those present had looked at the
face Of the dead man. There were no
flowers placed OH the grave except a
flower cross, which had been brought
from Richmond. VI.

About $40 o'clock this morning a fire
broke out in the store and dwelling of
Mr.. W. II. Whiting, on the corner OF
Union and King streets, and, rs strong
wind was blowing, the flames soon com
municated to the store and dwelling OF
Mr.. &. W. Guy, on the opposite corner,
and to a dwelling owned by Mrs. Guy,
"a short distance away. The flames rose
high in the air, and for awhile II
looked as if many more houses were
doomed to destruction, but by the
efforts of the fire company here the
fire WAS confined TO the houses named.
The "Soldiers' Home" engine came
over, but owing TO the scarcity of water
could render no assistance. The com
pany. however, did good service in aid
ing the members of the town company.
Mr.. Whiting and family lived over the
store. and the flames had gained such
Roadway ere they were discovered that
they saved very little. This is the
second time within two years that Mr..
Whiting has been burned out. Mr..
Guy saved very little. There was some
insurance on the property. | have not
learned the exact amount.

A pine Lire 10 Nev York

An Easton pa dispatch says The
connection of New York city with the
oil region of Northwestern Pennsylvl-
mia by an underground pipe line, which
has been the dream Of spectators for
years, promises 10 be accomplished by
Apnl lst The pipes were Laid under
the Bangor and Portland railroad
tracks at Wind Gap, Northampton
county, on Monday, and will be ex-
tended 10 Ackermanville 10y Monday
next. The company is also erecting
telegraph line, which is now finished as
far as Martins creek. The line is n
straight one, with no regard for hills or
mountains. IL a stream is reached a
wooden trestle is built for the pipe, and
if a mountain the pipe is run straight
up its sides, no matter how steep. The
intention is to pump the oil into re-
seryOir in the oil region, and by inn
mense pressure 10 force it through the
pipes 80 or 100 miles, as the case may
be, the distance depending upon the
level Of the country. Here the oil emp
ties into another reservoir, where it is
pumped into and forced through an
ther long section Of pipe. This pro-
cess is 10 be continued until the end
Of the pipe line is reached. Watch

Fire az Curtis Neck.

The dwelling house occupied by Mrs.
Sarah Alexander at Curtis Neck was
burned Wednesday morning about 10
o'clock. The fire was caused by sparks
from the chimney. Most of her furni-
ture was saved. But for the neighbors,
who arrived soon after the fire was dis
covered, all in the building would have
been consumed. The building was
the property Of Mr.. William Allen, OF
Richmond, and may have been insured,
lut there was 10 insurance upon the
furniture.

large, the accident would ut once be
known at the reservoir, where the pipe

render any service; but when the leak Is
small, il would not he perceived at the

can easily detect the smallest leak, may
prevent an immense waste. Five years
